Eddy momentum transport for Saturn from Cassini ISS. The eastward and northward eddy winds u′ and v′ are the departures from the zonal means. Their product uv¯ averaged over longitude and multiplied by density is the northward eddy flux of eastward momentum. The fact that this quantity has the same sign as u¯/y, which is the increase of the mean eastward wind with latitude, says that the eddies are putting energy into the jets and not the reverse. The left panel is u¯, the middle panel is uv¯, and the right panel is the number of velocity measurements per 0.5° latitude bin (Del Genio and Barbara 2012)
